Layer two

This afternoon I added a second layer of resin to the panel. Grr. It looks great overall, but the devil is in the details for me. The second layer had some issues. One issue was where the resin didn’t lay invisibly over the first layer. I tried to minimize that by blowing resin into the edges of the glass pieces. However, as bubbles formed, I tried to remove them with the heat gun. One spot in particular “lumped up” when I was doing this. I can repair it by filing down the lumpy parts and pouring a new layer over everything, but one goal was to preserve the texture of the glass I used for the petals of the lilies. If I pour another layer, the texture will be lost.

Two layers of resin

You can’t see it in the photos, but we’ll make a decision after everything cures.
